i just feel sad and "why us" today need a group hug from everyone else who feels the same

Thank you. Yes, I will do. Obviously, I'm anxious and terrified about the whole thing. Mainly the huge change in my life regarding eating and sleeping. I remain positive though and I know I should focus on the fact that the tumour will be removed and will no longer be a threat to my life. 

Of course, there is no guarantee and cancer will always be a concern.

Best wishes for your surgery on Tuesday. Mine was nearly 19 months ago but I can still remember the way I felt in the days leading up to it. 

Hi speyside1, 

Surgery took place on Tuesday at Southampton University Hospital. Early signs showing success as the surgical team are very pleased at the results.

I'm obviously feeling tired and groggy, which is to be expected, however, I  am on the road to recovery and feeling positive. 

On clear fluids for now, but should progress before leaving hospital next week, all being well.

I'm to have a conversation with the surgeon next week to discuss what they had found and done.

Anyway, that's me, feeling okay and hopefully improving every day.

Cheers,

Christophe

Onwards and upwards now ! One day at a time sending hugs xx
